Overnight, Moscow's missile and drone strikes have led to electricity outages in large parts of Ukraine's capital, the Ukrainian capital.

Authorities reported that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 projectiles attacked Ukraine's energy infrastructure, describing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Russia was "conducting extensive attacks" and technical staff were striving to restore power.
A wave of strikes hit electrical systems and residential structures in the capital.
Multiple people hurt in the assaults on the city have been taken to hospital, per statements from city authorities.
Regional authorities said the metropolitan region endured significant strikes during nighttime hours. A minor was killed and several individuals were wounded.
The strikes come after evenings of air raids in the region, portions of which are currently controlled by Russian forces.

Government officials told the media that Russia was purposely seeking to damage the electrical infrastructure, with strikes already impacting gas facilities.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and officials were anticipating further attacks.
